How do I Speed up VBA Links?

It takes FOREVER for it to load. Its so slow its not even funny. Takes at least a minute load! All the other links on my vbulletin install load just fine and are pretty fast. What can I do to make VBA load fast?

vBa Links should be one of the fastest pages on your forums and I'm almost positive I've never heard a single complaint about the loading speed. If you're having trouble, add this line to your includes/config.php file:

PHP Code:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = 1;

Then go to your links homepage and add "?explain=1" (without the quotes) to the end of the URL and that should take you to a debugging version of the page. Copy the results, paste them here, and we should be able to tell what's taking so long to load.

So that shows the code is being output within less than 1 second. 0.8 actually still seems a bit high, but probably not worth worrying about.
Can you post the URL to where you have vBa Links installed? If you want to leave out the domain that's fine assuming it's running on the same domain you've entered for your license. I'd like to take a look at the actual page since it's not the PHP script, so the only thing I can figure is perhaps you have some kind of custom JavaScript or perhaps an image or an <iframe> tag in there that's causing the page to load so slowly.

Possibly it has something to do with this slow issue I'm having.

EDIT: This is also somehow causing java drop downs to not work in the Links directory where they work all over the rest of the site.

EDIT 2: Actually the java drop downs are not working in the top bar on the site. They work elsewhere in VBA Links.
